The young royal reminded many of his dad at the service, held at St. Mary Magdalene Church (on granny’s Sandringham estate).

George’s Rachel Riley smocked red and white short set was reminiscent of the outfit his father wore to meet his newborn brother, Prince Harry for the first time.

The family of four walked together into the church, with Catherine pushing Charlotte in the Millson pram, used by the Queen for Princes Andrew and Edward when they were babies.

George didn’t give two figs about the history around him. THIS IS FOR THE BIRDS!

Prince Harry’s Tour Down Under

Prince Harry finished his army career with a tour of Australia and New Zealand in May, and it was a rousing success.

He field marriage proposals, accepted gifts from well-wishers, ordered burgers like any regular bloke, and came in second during trivia night at a New Zealand quiz (Harry’s bodyguards beat his team, the “Ginger Ninjas”).

Twice!

On December 8th, Catherine wore the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara to this year’s diplomatic reception. The tiara was made for Queen Mary and wore by Elizabeth II, who then lent it to the late Princess of Wales on several occasions.

George’s First Trooping of the Colour

For this special occasion, George wore a baby blue outfit that his father donned at the 1984 Trooping of the Colour.

Merry Christmas! Love The Cambridges

It was perhaps the most darling photo of this “family of four” to date, with George running around as William kept a watchful eve, and Charlotte held by mum with her shoe on the ground in front of her.
